At a time when FC Barcelona is under attack by UEFA in the Negreira case and by LaLiga for that of the “palancas” (economic lever, editor’s note), the boss of Mediaro, Jaume Roures, made a revelation on Real Madrid boss Florentino Pérez.
“Obviously, Laporta, like other (Barça) presidents before him, received our participation, because part of our job is to ensure the greatest possible stability in football. We also made economic levers with Florentino Pérez of 6,000 million pesetas in the year 2000 (around €36 million). What happened is that the Madrid press forgot it”he told Catalunya Radio.
